Drug crimes: 3 arrested after search of "drug house"

On behalf of Law Firm of Scott T. Moorey posted in Drug Crimes on Tuesday, December 18, 2018.

Three Florida residents were recently arrested at a house in Clearwater. Police officers say the arrests were made after they discovered a drug house run by the three individuals. The three are accused of multiple drug crimes after a search warrant was executed at the property.

According to authorities, the search yielded over 27 pounds of marijuana, said to be high-grade. Furthermore, they alleged that the suspects offered several marijuana-related products for sale from the house. The seized merchandise that was displayed in a showcase included oils, wax and edibles along with various blends of marijuana such as Cream Soda, Girl Scout Cookies, Train Wreck, Green Crack and Orange Cookies.

Reportedly, detectives also found a variety of drug paraphernalia and three firearms. One individual, a 23-year-old, will face a charge of selling a controlled substance. Two others, both 24 years old, will face multiple charges, including controlled substance possession with intent to sell, selling and delivering of controlled substances and operating a drug house.

No details were made available of the methods detectives used to determine that the suspects actually sold and delivered illegal drugs. Anyone in Florida who is accused of drug crimes will likely retain the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. Having a lawyer present during questioning can be invaluable. The attorney can also scrutinize all the procedures law enforcement used during the investigation and the execution of the search warrant, and irregularities can be handled in court. Legal counsel will work to secure the best possible outcome for the client.
